I don't think it is a good article. I think it is way too long for presenting a simple concept of gate keeping. What is adding to the damage is coming up with portmanteau "Poelitism" which makes me think that author tries to be forcibly clever. Check out this: Poelitism is when you believe everyone had the same path of experience you had when learning the same area of expertise. Compare with: Gate keeping is when you believe everyone had the same path of experience you had when learning the same area of expertise. Well those kind of sentences, as cited below, are off-putting as it also seems like author is trying to be clever, while making x, y, z as broad statements it just makes it unclear. Would be a lot better if he would present specific example. However, even if it's ultimately true that you have to learn "z" instead of "x", that's not a helpful statement. You can't distinguish if it's right or wrong from the merits of the argument alone.
